Good-bye Mr. Balmer

Mr. Balmer helped us one last Friday.  We will miss him!

Mrs. Stites presented Mr. Balmer with a poem, a picture of him when he was in first grade, a picture of him now and pictures of all the children in our classroom.

Mr. Balmer and Mrs. Stites.  He was in her first grade classroom, and has volunteered in her classroom for the last 3 years.

Mrs. Myers gave Mr. Balmer a silly gift.

A whistle on a lanyard with chocolate to calm his nerves.

We had a bubble party to celebrate Mr. Balmer leaving to do his student teaching.

     

   Mr. Balmer was a student in Mrs. Stites' first grade class many years ago.  He has volunteered in her classroom for the last 3 years.  Now he is leaving to student teach at Maconoquah in 5th grade.  We will miss Mr. Balmer.  He has been a tremendous help to us!  We had a bubble party to send him off in style!
